Problem Orbiter crashing on opening any addon MFD

[Rainbow Dash]

Hello everyone,

After a few years I decided to Re-Install Orbiter and a few of my favourite addons, but I am constantly running into the same problem:

Whenever I try to open any MFD added by a addon/module the game just crashes to desktop with not much of a explaination. I have tried several different MFDs now but they all cause the same issue.

My Computer:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 1903
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1240 v5
GPU: MSI NVidia GTX 970
RAM: 16Gb DDR3

Orbiter and Addons:
Orbiter 2016 Build 28 v.160828
D3D9Client R3.10(r1162)
JumpDriveMFD 2.0 ( [ame="https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2609"]Just a moment...[/ame] )

Checklist:

• I have tried disabling all other Modules/Addons
• I have re-installed Orbiter and addons
• I have read the installation instructions of the JumpDriveMFD

I tried it for the past 3 hours already and I just cant find the issue, if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it <3

Greetings,

JumpDriveMFD is meant for orbiter 2010 p1, i wouldn't recommend downloading anything thats for a previous version of orbiter as it could alter your root files. There is quite enough addons, and MFD's for orbiter 2016 to get you by at the moment. On the hangar when you click on an addon it will tell you in the stats listed the orbiter version it was coded for. Your best bet if you just hopped on the orbiter 2016 train is to go to most wanted, and recently added addons category, and carefully chose, again making sure the stats list it as being for orbiter 160828.

Since the error refers to a device context handle not available (i.e. a GDI functionality): did you try to enable the GDI compatibility mode (on the Video tab)? For debugging, you could also try orbiter.exe instead of orbiter_ng.exe, since this will provide GDI compatibility by default.

Background: older MFD plugins my call on GDI functions directly instead of using the Sketchpad layer, which allows GDI-independent implementation of the 2D render engine.
